Yes to what MacGillie says.

As for footless... they existed and go back quite a ways in different places at different times and with different names.

From, The Westminster Review, Volume 32 (1839)



This is one of the few examples that I have seen using the term "moggin." Note that these appear to be (IMO) knit stockings. It is also a bit later than the Jacobite period shown in the image above (and I wonder about the knit hose under the footless ones). I do know that a number of reenactors that I know do footless because they are simply easier to make and fit than footed ones.
